Caliper Vernier (Metal) (Product Code: SLE/PHY/28) is a nickel-plated steel vernier caliper used to measure external dimensions, internal dimensions and depth in school and college physics laboratories. Its metric scale reads from 0 to 120 mm in 1-mm divisions alongside a standard scale, and a roller adjustment moves the sliding head. It is supplied in a plastic case by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for institutions buying a Vernier caliper for school labs in India and abroad.

A vernier caliper is the standard tool for measuring small lengths more finely than a ruler allows. Students use the outside jaws for the diameter of a pendulum bob, rod or wire coil, the inside jaws for the bore of a tube or beaker, and the depth shaft for the depth of a calorimeter or a hole. Dimensions taken this way feed directly into volume and density calculations for metal blocks and cylinders.
Before each session, close the jaws gently and check whether the zero marks line up, so any zero error can be subtracted from later readings. Read the main scale first, then find the vernier mark that lines up most closely with a main-scale line. Wipe the steel clean after use and return it to its plastic case, a habit that suits any set of physics lab instruments in India that passes through many hands.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies this metal vernier caliper from Ambala, Haryana, to schools, colleges, dealers and importers. It is sourced for educational use and can be quoted together with the rest of a physics practical list so that measuring tools and apparatus arrive in one consignment.
For vendor registration, the supplying company is Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597, GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT). Company background is available on our company profile.

What can the Caliper Vernier (Metal) measure?
The Caliper Vernier (Metal) measures external dimensions, internal dimensions and depth. Depth is taken with a shaft attached to the movable head, which slides along the centre of the body, so one tool covers diameters, bores and depths.
What is the measuring range of the Caliper Vernier (Metal)?
The Caliper Vernier (Metal) reads from 0 to 120 mm on its metric scale in 1-mm divisions and also carries a standard scale. For the vernier resolution needed for your syllabus, please ask us through the contact page.
What is the Caliper Vernier (Metal) made of?
The Caliper Vernier (Metal) is made of nickel-plated steel and has a roller adjustment for moving the sliding head. Each caliper is packed in a plastic case that protects the jaws and scales during storage and transport.
Who supplies the Caliper Vernier (Metal)?
The Caliper Vernier (Metal) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) of Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers, and can be quoted alongside other physics apparatus.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Caliper Vernier (Metal)?
Whether a calibration certificate can accompany the Caliper Vernier (Metal) should be discussed with us before you order. Please state the requirement on the contact page so we can confirm what documentation is possible.
How should the Caliper Vernier (Metal) be looked after?
Keep the Caliper Vernier (Metal) in its plastic case when not in use, wipe off moisture and fingerprints after each class, never force the jaws over an object, and check the zero reading before measurements to spot any zero error.
Can the Caliper Vernier (Metal) be ordered in bulk or for export?
Yes, the Caliper Vernier (Metal) can be ordered in class-set or bulk quantities, and ScienceLab supplies India and international markets. Give the quantity and destination in your enquiry to receive a quotation.
